From the Pilot boat:

We had just put a pilot on a ship at the "C" bouy and heard a May-Day call from a supply boat about 3 miles from our location about a crew member in the water. He had cut his throat and jumped into the water. We told them that we had a man overboard extraction unit on our boat. They and the Coast Guard asked us if we could assist, so we did. When we got there the guy was floating, unconcious with a life ring around him. So we got him out of the water and layed him on the back deck. I covered him with a blanket, treated him for shock and wrapped a sheet around his neck to try and stop the bleeding. Buck headed for Cameron. About five miles from Cameron the helicopter arrived and sent a rescue swimmer and the basket to get the guy. They took him to Beaumont and last we heard, he is doing ok in icu. One hell of a morning.

My question exactly.

She won't tell me her side of the story.
I got first hand info. from the deckhand on the pilot boat.
That was cut and paste from his email of the account.
